On October 1st, we open our awareness campaign to support our survivor friends and each other around the world, by uniting people everywhere in the fight against cancer. Read on to learn more about how you can participate no matter where you live!
By participating in our campaign you are uniting with others around the world to ensure that that no one is alone in the fight against cancer.
- Celebrate your life. Join one of the Celebrations of Life Events unfolding throughout October in over 20 countries and 35 cities, follow them on Facebook or have your own celebration with friends and family by engaging in community service in your neighborhood. Write to us afterwards at info@themaxfoundation.org to tell us about how you celebrated in your community!
- Share your ideas. Check out the newly launched International Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Foundation’s (ICMLF) website and write to Key Opinion Leaders with ideas about what you want to see happen next in CML treatment, research and development.
- Show us your art. Become inspired by our newly launched Colors of Hope Gallery filled with your art. Then, follow your inspiration and paint, draw or sketch something of your own that shows how you “Maximize Life” and it send to us. We want to feature you in our 2010 exhibit so express yourself to the world through color!
- Add your support message. Please add a personal support message to our Tribute Wall which goes live on October 19th in honor of Max! Have you been meaning to send a note of encouragement to a friend in the fight of their lives? Do you and your patient group want to cheer on another group across the globe? Now is the time to post your support messages for people everywhere to see!
- Promote this campaign. We encourage you to link our website to your website, blog, twitter, LinkedIn or Facebook page to tell your network about the importance of cancer awareness.
- Wear your Maximize Life wristband! Friends of The Max Foundation around the world will be wearing Maximize Life wristbands as an act of solidarity and a way to promote cancer awareness throughout the month of October.
Check our website often during the month of October…and thank you for joining us by maximizing your life.
